Hey, all of you who didn't get in on the first pinkeep. Let's show MaryJane our imagination in coming up with your very farmgirl ideas in a pin cushion. (I'm thinkin' saddles, pigs, cows, chickens, pantaloons, aprons, etc. Get your thinkin' caps on while you"re pickin' corn and beans. Then we can post them to see what we all come up with.

Is the sign up deadline Nov 1 or the deadline to get our pincushion to our swap partners?

Bonnie I'm in but is this a swap or just picture posting our own project. If a swap let's set a sign up and mailing deadline.

You will do fine just remember to make clear:
Description of item to be swapped, and details like a theme and if tuck (gift) is required.
1. a sign-up deadline
2. Post sign ups (so no one gets forgotten).
3. Post partners
4. Post mail to partner deadline
Did I cover it?

Bonnie there are several very good swaps going on right now to get guidelines but some that seem to be really together are the hankie swap on the Barter link and the pot holder swap on the Stitching link. These could give you an idea of what to do.
Begin each morning with a song in your heart. |

I think Merry covered it well, but there is also a Halloween apron swap going on (I think it might be closed to new swappers), but it seems to have pretty clear rules. You could also check it out. I'd be interested too if we get it all clarified.

ok gals. For those of you who want to swap sooner. I will keep track of you and your deadline to swap is Nov. 1. I will save the rest for the January deadline. With this being Aug. 1 and crops coming in, I can't get mine out until Jan. But we still have to see the cool swaps you get on the web. Thanks
